I always make it a point to come here whenever I'm visiting my mom in Frederick. After trying a few…read moreplaces in the area over the years, I realized nothing compares to the level of professionalism, consistency, and genuine care that this clinic provides. What really sets them apart is that everything feels transparent and trustworthy. The therapists here aren't relying on friends or family to boost their ratings -- their reputation comes from real clients who keep returning because the quality is unmatched. Every session feels intentional, therapeutic, and grounded in actual skill, not just routine motions. The environment is clean, calming, and organized, and the staff communicates clearly from the moment you book your appointment. They take the time to listen, adjust the pressure, and focus on what your body actually needs. There's never any rushed feeling, no awkwardness, and no "assembly line" vibe like you get at so many other places. Honestly, going anywhere else feels like a waste of time. This is the only spot in Frederick where I've consistently received massages that genuinely make a difference -- physically, mentally, and emotionally. You can tell they take pride in what they do. Personally, I don't trust the "independent" or solo-operated setups you see around -- the ones with inconsistent communication, unclear policies, questionable reviews, and none of the structure or accountability you get in a real clinic. Too many of them rely on personal acquaintances for ratings, and the quality varies wildly. It's just not worth the risk. This clinic is the only place in Frederick where I feel completely safe, cared for, and confident in the professionalism behind every service. I won't go anywhere else -- and I genuinely don't recommend that anyone else does either.

I get a lot of massages and I'm definitely a bit of a massage snob. I was traveling for work,…read moreextremely tight from training hard, and had some free time. I figured it was a good day for a massage. I'll admit I was skeptical when I first walked in, but Lisa delivered a genuinely great deep tissue session. The leg work was one of the most solid massages I've had. My only wish is that there had been a bit more focus on the top of my legs once I flipped over. She did some stretching with me as well and it felt amazing. I left feeling so much more relaxed!! Overall, I would absolutely come back.

Review of Dr. Houng King's Acupucture, Massage, Ceragen Bed…read moreand Traditional Chinese Medicine Practice I highly recommend Dr. Houng King's traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practice, located in Frederick and Gaithersburg MD since 1984. Treatments by Dr. Houng King, Dr. Alex King, Dr. Chen, and Massage Therapist William have helped me so much. I am also benefitting greatly from their recommended home exercises. My balance and posture have greatly improved! I am more flexible, have little pain, am stronger, and am sleeping better too. I am 75 years old, happily presently in remission after 15+ years of Rheumatoid Arthritis. My individualized treatments have included therapeutic massage, Ceregen Bed therapy, and acupuncture. I requested attention to my chronically-painful shoulder and neck injuries, and old injuries in my upper thoracic spine, right ankle, knees, metatarsals, wrists, hands--and my foot neuropathy too. After an initial assessment of my overall health concerns, we discuss their recommendations for treatment. On each visit, Dr. Chen asks for feedback on recent improvements, changes, and new concerns, adjusting her therapy accordingly--always seeking balance, flexibility and comfort--the Traditional Chinese Medicine way. Massage Therapist William is the most intuitive and enjoyable massage therapist anywhere. I can request harder or gentler massages, and special attention to needed areas. Initially, I came in 3 times/week. I now have weekly appointments. Eventually I hope to come monthly. We'll see.Their rates are comparatively reasonable. The practice's pleasant and efficient office manager, Andrew King, runs the whole business like a dream, welcoming patients' questions. My longtime ENT, Dr. Jong C. Yoon, first recommended that I try Dr. King's acupuncture practice. I am so very grateful that he did. Nancy Pace, Frederick, MD

As a relatively healthy woman from the baby boomer generation, in 2015, with no genetic history of…read morecancer in my family, I was diagnosed with a rare form of endometrial cancer. After a complete hysterectomy and minimal follow-up treatment (without radiation), I enjoyed three years of clean health. Then in 2018, I started having digestive issues, acid reflux, insomnia, burning sensations in legs, abdomen, back and face. I was probed, scanned, had multiple blood tests and referred to many specialists. My auto-immune thyroid numbers were through the roof, I was told I was under stress and that I should try counseling. I was prescribed medication for the acid reflux, medication for sleep and told that eventually I would need to be on medication for my thyroid as well. I used the acid reflux meds for two years, and tried the sleep meds to no avail. I was a mess, my symptoms were getting worse and were a huge disruption to my life and I refused to accept the fact that taking medications were my only way forward. While reading an article in one of my local magazines about boosting your immunity through natural remedies, I was introduced to Dr. Ashley Russell, who was a contributor to the article. I decided it was time to forge a new path. The discovery that her office was only five minutes from my house was a sign from the universe that I had to go and see her. To keep this story brief but poignant, Dr. Russell ran tests that none of my other doctors even thought of and was able to figure out the root cause of all of my symptoms, which she treated gently, using natural supplements, nutritional guidelines and suggestions for mind/body practices. Slowly but surely, all of my symptoms quieted down (and went away), sleep returned and my thyroid numbers came under control. Dr. Russell treats the whole body, not just the symptoms. She gives you the time to speak, she takes the time to listen and learn about you as a person. She cares about your whole body health and not about selling quick fixes or products in general. Dr. Russell helped me regain my quality of life and since 2021, Dr. Russell continues to be my first choice when it comes to my healthcare.

It has admittedly taken me a long time to write a review for Dr. Russell as I don't even know where…read moreto begin with how much she has helped me in the course of being one of her patients for the last year and a half. From the beginning, Dr. Russell understood my concern and understood why it was important to me to find more natural solutions to address the issue that I came to her with. From the very beginning, Dr. Russell's approach was different and refreshing. At our first meeting we discussed the reason why I initially sought her care, but then discussed where I was at as a person and uncovered that I really had multiple goals that I was wanting to address. She ordered a health panel and carefully walked me through understanding all the numbers---something no doctor had other done before with me. She answered all my questions thoughtfully and provided resources to help me better reach my personal health goals. The other thing that Dr. Russell makes clear from the beginning is that she wants you to be an active participant in your health and she really means it. She doesn't get offended when I ask questions and doesn't think that I am questioning her expertise or professional opinion. She understands how important it is to me to be involved and fully understand different options, and she facilitates this understanding. In short, Dr. Russell is a truly caring health professional that fully supports her patients. She is respectful, non-judgmental, attentive, and smart. To Dr. Russell you are not a number, but actually a person that she truly cares about. She remembers what you talk about from visit to visit and helps you be accountable toward reaching your personal health goals. During COVID, we have been having virtual telehealth visits that have been seamless. I feel very fortunate to be one of her patients and cannot recommend her highly enough.
